Description
The Strut-and-Tie Method (STM) can be used for the design of reinforced concrete elements such as deep beams and pile caps. STM allows the reduction of complex states of stress, which are known as D- or Discontinuity regions, within a structure to an assembly of simple stress states. Normal beam theory where B- or Bernoulli regions occur, does not apply. Up until recent times, design for deep beams was generally on simple rules and empirical formulas, however STM is now included in most modem design code provisions. Yet, there still remains a lack of clear understanding of the STM.
